Spill it! A tablecloth that turns stains into art.

Mar 10, 2010

There's just no way around it: Tablecloths get stained. A glass of red wine here, a spot of gravy there. Norwegian textile designer Kristine Bjadaal made real life a part of her design concept for the Underfull Tablecloth. The traditional-looking damask bursts into a flutter of butterflies when a stain happens, turning the tablecloth into a story of dinners past or an homage to clumsiness.

Way to turn a flaw into a feature, eh? The tablecloth is only a prototype, but it's getting a lot of press so I wouldn't be surprised if a retailer snatches it up soon. What do you think?
